Lenna Walker Poet Rhyme

A Warm and Windy Day

A Warm and Windy Day

The flowers are dancing to and fro
with Maple limbs dipping and bowing low

Long grass flowing in jade green waves
as my canopy swing glides and sways

Birds float along on currents up high
both light and dark clouds are draping the sky

They quickly change shape and feather away
Then for a moment, blue skies add to the day

Dandelion seeds lift and then fly along
as the wind in the trees keeps singing a song

The sun will pop out and let shadows be
Then it clouds up again, no shadows to see

This lovely warm day has so much to bring
As I lounge here and write from my backyard swing.

Anne-Marie Coreggia May 22, 2017 at 11:09 AM Lenna, we feel the gentle swing in your words as your gorgeous poem, like a song, opens us to the enchanting world around you:) Amitiés Lenna Walker May 22, 2017 at 5:54 PM Thank you Anne Marie, it was so nice writing outside on the swing with the beautiful day :) I appreciate your kindness :)

Chris Green May 22, 2017 at 10:33 AM That sounds like a lovely time my friend. I wish I were sitting on a swing writing in the backyard but alas I am at work. And still, I couldn't have written it as beautiful as you have. Your poetic eyes see the most wonderful things.

Thank you for your nice compliment, but we all know as creatively as you write, you could write this experience very poetically yourself .... but Thank you for your wonderful support my friend !! :)
